In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteYes, it’s on the blog portion. The admin seems fine.

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteWhen I went to that page, I got five radio buttons, with the last one selected by default. It has a text field that reads /%postname%/. Underneath, there’s an options area that I just ignored. I clicked ‘Save Changes’ and the URLs appear correct now. Thanks.
However, there a bunch of missing elements on the page, including a missing top navigation, and missing images. Not all images are missing though. Any idea what could be causing that?

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteThanks, Jan. I made the change and imported, but even though the URLs are correct with the localhost address, I’m getting a bunch of 404’s, except for the home page. Could this be a configuration issue?

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI noticed a table called ‘wp_options’ with a field called ‘siteurl’. I changed the value to reflect the localhost URL, but there was no change.

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteOkay. I imported the sql file into phpmyadmin and can see the site in the localhost. However, it’s displaying using a different theme. When I go to http://localhost/mysite/wp-login.php, and can’t log in, it takes me to the live login page. Actually, all links take you to the live site.

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteThanks for the replies. I’m in phpmyadmin and am on my way to creating the new database, but see a drop-down menu that defaults to ‘Collation’. Is there a selection in particular I should select? This is the drop-down right next to the Create button.

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI just took a closer look and see that I have XAMPP installed. The XAMPP Control Panel shows that I have Apache, MySQL, and FileZilla running. Based on all of this, do you know if I have to have the username and password from the sql file to access the database locally?

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI don’t have a database program installed locally. Any recommendations on what to install for someone developing with WAMP?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteOkay, I copied the db over and renamed the config file. Now I need the following info. Is there a way to retrieve the db username and password?
1. Database name
2. Database username
3. Database password
4. Database host
5. Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single database)Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI just realized I didn’t even copy over the db from the CD. Any recommendations where to copy it locally? Thanks.

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI tried installing by running install.php, but got the following error:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at dbnamehere.db.7446846.hostedresource.com. This could mean your host’s database server is down.Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?Any ideas how to best proceed?

In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI have every folder and file from the live WordPress site on a CD. Is it possible to simply copy that to a folder within WAMP, or do I need to go through some sort of WordPress installation first?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Developing on live WordPress siteI already have WAMP installed, and the client gave me the WP site on CD. So, it looks like the next logical step is to install WordPress (the last link you included above), then restore from backup.

In reply to: [CataBlog] CataBlog Support ForumI’m working on a project where we need category, sub-category, and product pages, but we don’t need the ecommerce functionality. Is anyone using Catablog this way? In other words, can you turn off any “Add to Cart” functionality, so that you have just an online catalog.
